Strong, Firm and Steadfast

May 23, 2021 • Pastor Ken Ingold

Every day we are faced with the challenge of being a Christ-follower in a world that doesn't honor Him. So how do we represent Him in our Babylon? Pastor Ken Ingold leads us through Peter's four challenges for believers as we navigate our fallen world. When we submit and surrender to the power of the Holy Spirit, He can use us to impact our Babylon.

The Lions' Den

May 30, 2021 • Pastor Jared Herd

How do you respond to fear? Pastor Jared examines the story of Daniel and the Lion's Den and challenges believers to choose faith over fear. While it's easy to allow our fear to make us afraid to offend, or over-eager to speak truth, God calls us to stand in the messy middle. We must live out our faith, no matter the consequences.

The Writing on the Wall

May 16, 2021 • Pastor Jared Herd

When was the last time you took a look at your heart? Misalignment between our outside and inside can leave us in some troubling situations and behaviors. As believers, we are called to evaluate our hearts with scripture. When our hearts are run down, hurting, or prideful, we can allow God's word to change and refine us. It's been a long year, maybe it's time to hold your heart up to the scriptures.

Setting Down Rocks in Babylon

May 9, 2021 • Pastor Jared Herd

Sometimes we need to set rocks down as markers of who we are, when the tides of this world try to lead us astray. Pastor Jared takes a look at Daniel’s journey in Babylon and the pressure he faced to change his identity. Just as Daniel stood up for his identity as a follower of God, we are invited to live our life on purpose and stand for God in a culture that pushes us to stay quiet. The tides of the last year may have pushed you farther from where you want to be. It’s time to consider where we need to set down some rocks and uphold our convictions.
